Re: AA Flashlight (new single cell converter) addition to the series

You are exactly right! My last two Spies have had the SWGG option. The standard looks so cool, it will be a breath of fresh air. I thought to myself, I can have a CRI Haiku AA instead of the SWGG option, heck yeah!

Congrats Brandon, a Haiku and a Spy in one day. A hard act to follow.

Thanks Ben. Gave up a lot of good gear, well worth it for two of the finest lighting tools on the planet.

Re: AA Flashlight (new single cell converter) addition to the series

The AA XM-L light engine puts out more lumens than the AA High CRI light engine does but due to its larger die when it comes to comparison of lux (throw) between a High CRI AA and XM-L AA Haiku, the Haiku AA High CRI is clearly the winner.

I wanted the best of both, so I put my XPG2 LED board on my McG AA LE. Most excellent.

I received my Haiku AA High Cri today. It actually arrived the same day I left for vacation so was delivered today. The ability to use AA batteries is great. Great output and a beautiful tint. This will become a favorite! Thanks Don!
